For this fight to be the best match on the card, Theofimo has to rush pure Bocserval Boza Jr. (32-0, 11 Kos) into the brawl. It’s not Barboza Jr’s style to go to war with his enemies, especially when facing someone with huge powers like Teofimo.

Retired Boxing Great Marquez sees the clash between WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo (21-1, 13 KOs) and undefeated Barboza Jr. (32-0, 11 KOs) as a great match.
“I love that fight. Teofimo Lopezvs. Arnold Barboza might steal the show at night,” Juan Manuel Marquez said. Fighting Hub TVtalks about the clash between WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo and forced Barboza Junior who got caught up in the best fight of the fatal fury event held at Times Square in New York City on May 2. “It’s a great fight, but I think the experience is for Theofimo Lopez.”
Teofimo’s strategy
It’s a good fight between Teo and Barboza Jr, but it’s not even the best fight of the night or the second one. Barboza Jr. is a boxer who is too pure to have this clash steal the show. For it to be an exciting conflict, Theofimo must force Arnold into exchange and make him come out of the standard pure defensive shell.
The best way to do that is for Lopez to hurry up with Barboza Jr, staying nearby and dropping inwards. If Teofimo gives Barboza Jr a room, he will jab and move all night to try to win a boring decision.
Kingry’s return match against former WBA light welterweight champion Rolly Romero (16-2, 13 KOS) is expected to be a shootout as both men are the huge puncher who wins by getting knockouts.
